Endless Ocean Luminous is a calming trip to an underwater paradise where there's sadly very little to actually do.
MonsterVine: "Endless Ocean Luminous isn’t the most active or engrossing game, but its soothing atmosphere and relaxing gameplay do make for a unique experience."
“At the end of the day, if you're not playing Endless Ocean Luminous to look at and learn about oceanic creatures then you won't enjoy it as there is little else to it. While not necessarily a bad game, it becomes less and less fun the more you play it and I wouldn't exactly call that the hallmark of a good game either.” - Martijn van Gent from Video Chums.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I’m not going to tell you that Endless Ocean Luminous is a must-have for Switch owners, or a particularly cheap title for what it offers. You need the proper mindset to enjoy it properly. If what you want is a relaxing, exploratory game, and if you’re into collectionism and task-completion, without having to actually resort to any complex mechanics or hardships, this will be a perfect fit. If not, you may find this game to be quite boring, possibly a bit pretentious. Thankfully, I sided with the former. After a stressful day at work, playing this game for half an hour at a time felt like the perfect way to relax and forget about any kind of issue."
